Nah, I wouldn't do that. ^_^
So, Srimad is sort of a step up from Sri?
Metempsychosis
Reincarnation of 'Anti-religion'
It is just a label.
Srimad is rarely given to a living being ,IMHO ...Mostly people use "Sri".
So, for living beings, "Srila" is used, instead?

I dont know actually,I think Sriman can also be used.Srila is used frequently by the Gaudhiya group ,including our guru Srila Prabupada.
IMHO,Srimad suites perfectly for you( i.e your name),but for some like Madhuri it may not suit.

I think we should call you. Sri Sri Sri Devi Madhuri Maa.
I think maybe Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Madhuri Devi Dasi.
Let us not forget that Prabhupada is often referred to as Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada.
Apparently Srila is an adjective of the noun Sri.Apparently Prabhupada was both opulent and very beautiful...

You must add Ma at the end. So
:bow:Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Madhuri Devi Dasi Ma:bow: now you sound like a real Holy Woman.
Now say it ten times real fast.

That title should be more suitable for you than for Prabupada himself.
Thanks!! Without sounding pompous, I will admit that I probably own more jewellery and am slightly prettier than he was.
But enough about me.

Srimad in samskritha means with Sri(means honorific), in easier words, the blessed.
Hindus get all the cool titles Not fair!

Luis-ji,
I know you were probably joking, but i'd like to humbly point out that there are many Buddhists who take on a Dharma name. It gives them a goal to live up to. Although i would classify myself a Hindu, i offer up my name as an example. Kuvalya Dharmasindhu means Blue Lotus (Kuvalya) and Ocean of Cosmic Law (Dharmasindhu). It helps me to continually acknowledge that my goal in life is to strive to live in accordance with the Way and to realize enlightenment as soon as possible, especially since i incorporate the Mahayana notion of Bodhicitta into my practice so that i can come back and help other Dharma seekers to realize their full potential.
*Peace To All Beings*
